Default Tips on oil change for 3.2 TT

Hey Guys,

I would like to change the oil on the car pretty soon.

Can someone tell me if I need any special tools for the oil change?

Where is the best place to buy an oil filter and do I need to use synthetic oil or is regular Castrol GTX 5w30 ok to use?

Also if I do use Synthetic oil what is the oil change frequency?

Thanks for the help.

It is pretty much normal. Biggest problems are removing the undertray with it's many fasteners and having a large (32mm?) socket to loosen the oil filter cap. Otherwise it's just another oil change.

I highly recommend synthetic oil over normal.
